[ILUG-Cochin.org] problem with reliance usb modem

[gingerjoos]

I haven't used wvdial, so I'm not really an expert. But this could be a
permissions issue. Check permissions of /etc/ppp/pap-secrets &
/etc/ppp/chap-secrets

Try these :
http://www.google.co.in/search?q=Could+not+modify+%2Fetc%2Fppp%2Fpap-secrets&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a

Good luck :)
